Reliance Jio has sent a proposal to HRD ministry, last month to connect approximately 38,000 colleges for the free Wi-Fi scheme. To make sure a just and transparent process, a tender would be floated. Meanwhile, the proposal of the HRD ministry for providing free Wi-Fi in central universities itself is believed to go off this year.

Currently, the proposal in under examination by the ministry and the verdict is yet to be taken.
